Zurampic (lesinurad) is the newest medication to be approved by the FDA for the treatment of gout. Gout is an inflammatory type of arthritis that results from the buildup or uric acid crystals in the body.

Recent statistics from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prenvention) show that gout is on the rise in the US, likely related to the rise in obesity in recent years.

What is Zurampic used for?Zurampic is used with another type of gout medication called a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (some examples include allopurinol and febuxostat). Zurampic is added to your other treatment if your uric acid levels haven’t lowered enough with the xanthine oxidase inhibitor alone.
